Manchester City maintained 100% home record this season after snatching 3-2 victory in five-goal thriller. Samir Nasri opened the score line with fantastic goal after super vision and assist from David Silva, the leading top assistor in premier league this season. Joleon Lescott went in with the ball to make it 2-0. Jermain Defoe capitalized on defence error to pull one back before Gareth Bale superb direct volley to level the score 2-2.

Then came Jermain Defoe miss in final minutes, he just miss timed the ball following good effort from Bale. Spurs then have to pay the price, Mario Balotelli fouled by Ledley King in penalty box, Balotelli converted the spot kick on 94 minutes. Salute to Roberto Mancini for Balotelli substitution, he looked dangerous with every ball despite controversial fouls which look like the good, the bad and Balotelli pointed out in soccernet.com. City remain 3 points clear at the top of premier league table after United 2-1 victory over Arsenal.
